Battery Terminals

Looking for some nice quality battery terminals to connect the positives on 2 batteries side by side.

Id try a reputable local stereo shop before the internet. That way you can judge the quaility in hand first and not have to wait.

If you are looking for fancy/ nice looking go with some audio battery terminals. If you are looking for practical and ease if attachment/ adding accessories get some "military battery terminals". You can Google that exact wording and they will come up. You can get them from waytekwire.com or vtewarehouse.com. Knukonceptz.com also has some nice audio battery terminals if that is what you are looking for.

The industrial battery supply house here also had some nice stuff and they also custom made cables as well that were nice.

I have been looking for the same thing. Would like to see some pictures of some installed if anyone has some.

Lots of top quality stuff on sonic. They ship super fast too. The discount is well worth a couple days wait.

Here are the cables I made for myself. I did not have to use different battery terminals because the Optima batteries that I used also have the side terminals. I used the side terminals as you can see in one of the pictures.

I like those where did you gather the parts?

All the parts are from many different vendors.

The wire was from a local welding supply shop.
The crimp rings are from Waytekwire.com
The dual wall heatshrink is from Waytekwire.com
The boots are from Vtewarehouse.com
The polarity heatshrink bands are from Wrangler NW. The website used to be wranglernw.com but it does not seem to be an active website anymore.
I purchased the green cable cover from Ebay. It is an expandable fiberglass cable that is flame resistant. It is the same type of material they use to protect the wires in ovens. There are other covers I would use now.

I have a set of heavy duty crimpers that I used to crimp the ring terminals. They will crimp up to 4/0 rings. I now have a heavy duty hydraulic crimper that I use.

You could get most of the parts from Waytekwire.com. The only items that might be hard to source now would be the heatshrink polarity bands.

If you need any help figuring out exactly what you would need to make a set of cables, send me a PM.
